Yup, definately 1 is not enough, but gonna take it slow and just get 1 Skilhunt H03F for now to see how it performs for my specific use case (and also use as EDC light). My plan is probably to get a bunch Convoy S2+ in the future with different colour temp and also customise the optic & lens for my needs.

Thanks for the suggestion on the video LED lights. Sometimes I really wish I can go yumcha with you seniors at night and borrow different torchlight to shine on cars and see how they perform. Haha

I just bought my TIP2 from Gadgetworld.
And previously the TUP and the TIP 2017.


These keychain lights are very convenient for EDC especially when there is a built in battery level indicator.




TUP is super useful as it's the same size like an Olight S1.


All in all, really good value for money and convenience.

one thing that bugs me about tip2 is still old UI, and the magnetic tail cap while closed can still attract stuff.

tup meanwhile, the lcd is too fragile for keychain use...
tho its UI is better...
nightcore continues to troll us...

Yeah, I read some online some customers didn't like the UI for the TIP2 especially for the hold 2 seconds to switch on.
May I ask what kind of stuff your TIP2 attracts?
Do you mean coins? Or lint?

For my TUP, generally I "dislike" the buttons. It's very easy to accidentally switch on while on Daily mode.
Same issue with the TINI.

coins.
The tip2 ui is the same as the tini tho... so also 2 secs to turn on..
at least the tup has a lockout mode... but still too big for keychain use.

Yup. Correct.

Sometimes I don't get why people don't like the 2 seconds on.
Maybe 2 seconds is a bit long but I tend to accidentally on my tip keychain due to the instant on.

the 2secs doesn't bug me... but the not having direct access to low does since the power button is just memory mode.
anyway, the tini is still on my keychain.

my tips are the older version with lockout... never really bothered to get the newer ones with that daily / demo modes.

+1.
Same with me so I use the removable clip to cover the switch.
You can still activate the TIP by pressing through the clip to switch on the light.

Just to add about keychain lights.
For the time being, I prefer to EDC these kind of rechargeable keychain flashlights (TIP2017 / TUP / TIP2 / etc..) because I've have several "missing head" Olight i3e.
Lost the head with the Sanyo Eneloop AAA.

i still have a couple of i3e lying in a desk somewhere.
but yea, dont think i'll be going back to my i3e on my house keys for awhile...the tini is going to stay on it for awhile until it breaks down...
i also have the olight i1r on my car keys...as a backup to my backup...and since its so small and light it doesnt interfere.

If use to blind people then 2 seconds is too slow 🤔

I fixed my missing head by roughening the threads with superglue.
It's no longer the buttery smooth roll (crunchy twists that grips) but at least I don't loose my Astrolux A01 after the o-ring tore

doubt anyone would use a tiny light to blind people. It's a bit inconvenient as a tactical tool imo

Good idea also. Might also give it a try with UHU.

how u all lose the heads? turn too much and over compensate the lockout?

I commute by cubchai (and other bikes) so I'm guessing the vibration at the handlebars / key ignition slot as well as putting in & out from my pouch might have cause it to loosen over time.
But my best guess is most likely the bike's vibration la.

succumbed to the ultra bright side...


Attached thumbnail(s)

mine was I couldn't find suitable o-rings so theres no friction for the astrolux a01 to grip.
none of the small o-rings I purchases fits it. The small thin ones require stretching and breaks, The perfect matched ones doesn't compress like Astrolux orings so i couldn't screw it in

did u try using Teflon tape?

Teflon tape like the ones the plumbers use?
